Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing problem in our country and various studies have found that diabetes and thyroid disorders mutually influence each other and both disorders tend to coexist. However, the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in these patients has not been investigated. Aims and Objectives: To study the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in newly diagnosed T2DM. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 100 newly diagnosed T2DM patients. Investigations including FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, thyroid function test like FT3, FT4, TSH was done for all patients. The correlations of prevalence of thyroid dysfunction with HbA1c and gender distribution were done. The observations and interpretations were recorded and results obtained were statistically analyzed. Results: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was very high in newly diagnosed T2DM patients. Most prevalent thyroid dysfunction was subclinical hypothyroidism (21%) followed by overt hypothyroidism (7%). The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was more common in females than males. This study also stated that high HbA1c values (>8) at diagnosis were increased risk of thyroid dysfunction. Conclusion: There was a significant association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction. All patients with high HbA1c values on diagnosis should be screened for thyroid dysfunction.
